Dear Sage, Sabine, Sadie; Yesterday morning, we left the house in Pasig and after picking-up your Mom at SLMC, we stayed here at QC to visit my Dad and to take care of Kitkat and Boing. Ninong El and Ninang Jen are in Baguio to monitor Bigsound FM there which just went on air. The only one left in Pasig is your lola since your Ninang Di also left the house for her vacation in Tagkawayan. You guys played all day and upto around 10pm. When we were kids like you, we were not allowed to play, to watch TV, even to laugh out loud before black saturday. I really hated that. Those were very depressing and frustrating times for me. But the Days leading up to yesterday were even more depressing, and frustrating, and disappointing compared to those in yesteryears.

BUT...

Yesterday was March 20, 2008. It is the vernal or spring equinox of this year. An equinox is one of two days in a year when night and day equally share the limelight, which means they both have 12 hours each to reign over the heavens. Since I've had my share of days na "kasuklamsuklam" then maybe, just maybe, to balance things out, much better days are ahead. dapat naman maging "equal" (kaya nga EQUInox e.)

Two Years Ago I wrote a blog entry about a Prose that mirrors the event that we are remembering today- Christ's sacrifice on the cross, the sacrifice for Love. It's from the book "Thorn Birds" . I think it's appropriate to re-post it here.

"There is a legend about a birdwhich sings just once in its lifemore sweetly than any creature on the face of the Earth.Upon leaving its nest it searches for a Thorn Treeand does not rest until it has found one.Then, singing among the savage branches it impales itselfagainst the longest, sharpest spine.And dying, it rises above its own agonyto out-carol the Lark and the Nightingale.with ONE, superlative song-- Existence the price.Yet the whole world stills to listen,And God in his Heaven smiles.

For the best is bought only at the cost of great pain...

or so, says the legend."--Ralph Cardinal DeBricassart

May the Glory of Easter Morning, and the mornings to come after that, more than balance the Gloom of Good Friday and the days leading up to it.

ang sabi mo, Atticus, si George Michael wrote it with a man in mind (anselmo) and not a fascinating girl? Lalaki ang inspirasyon nung kantahin nya ito at hindi isang magandang babae???

Lintek sya!

Sorry, pero in my book, that's more blashphemous than saying "Happy Good Friday..."

Man! I'm in such a foul mood I'd probably eat dinuguan and puto bukas (byernes)! I hope you and our friends from abs-cbn (lalu na yung nasa bora who's wearing her expensive bikinis) have much better luck than yours truly. Darn. I sound just like... I might aswell change the title of this blog to snglguy.com2

Dear Kids, someday you will receive spam mail with this picture and an allegation that the child is a Muslim and he is being punished because he stole a loaf of bread. It was meant to provoke hatred towards our Muslim Brothers so please do not believe the spam.

We have no right to Judge the Moslems. Because we know NOTHING about ISLAM. Hindi naman tayo Muslim e.

when the PeoplePower icon of the past shares the stage with a farce, she becomes one too.

When the best and the brightest that this generation has to offer is either Chiz escudero, who thinks that Erap and Marcos did no wrong; or Mike Defensor, who thinks that Gloria is the best president we've had, then,

THE FUTURE ITSELF IS DYING. (my apologies to the speechwriter of W.Bush. I snitched the phrase from him)

The Kids

Welcome!!!

Why do I keep a blog?

I'm a Husband to a TK lass, Physician (Internist) Medical Specialist and last but not the least, a Father to three wonderful daughters and a great son. They say that the next best thing we can give to our children aside from GOOD HABITS are GOOD MEMORIES. May the Lord Help me fill this Blog (www.thekid.tk) and their lives with Both.
Recently I also started updating www.TagKawayan.TK... ever since My kids started referring to TK as their "HOMETOWN"
